var p = GetPlayer(); var textentry = p.GetVar("TextEntry"); var newTextentry = textentry.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''); p.SetVar("TextEntry",newTextentry);
I managed to copy the script to remove spaces from a text entry field called "TextEntry".
However, I would like to be able to iterate this through multiple text entry fields, which get names like "TextEntry1", "TextEntry2", etc etc.
Presumably I need some kind of loop, which appends a number to "textentry", "TextEntry", "newTextentry", and cycles through it until the nth iteration, but I don't know how to code this, and can't find an answer anywhere.
I hope this makes sense, and apologize if I've posted in the wrong place.
This script will run through the variables TextEntryX to TextEntryY (you can specify the first and last in the series by changing X and Y below to numbers) and replace the input in each of those variables with a "cleaned up" version with spaces and apostrophes etc removed.
var p = GetPlayer();
for(var i = X; i < Y; i++) { var textentry = p.GetVar("TextEntry" + i); var newTextentry = textentry.replace(/^\s+|\s+$|\'/g, ''); p.SetVar("TextEntry" + i,newTextentry); }
Hi, thanks for sharing your code. I was trying to make it work in one of my projects, I didn't at the begin but at the end with some modifications it did.
What I did to make it work: for the first slide I used the following code (the first slide with text entry):
var p = GetPlayer();
var p = GetPlayer();
var textentry = p.GetVar("TextEntry");
var newTextentry = textentry.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
p.SetVar("TextEntry",newTextentry);
Then for the rest I used this one:
var p = GetPlayer();
for(var i = 1; i < Y; i++) {
var textentry = p.GetVar("TextEntry" + i);
var newTextentry = textentry.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
p.SetVar("TextEntry" + i,newTextentry);
}
-Y- should be the last text entry you have plus 1.

Hi Paul! Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm hoping to solve a similar problem.
Hi
Yes, I got there in the end...!

}
Oh brilliant! Thank you so much :)
